    No sense of exploration
    Very data characters, feels like a 10 year old game
    Maps suck
    Inventory sucks
    I found the quests very boring as well.
    Oh and loading screen after loading screen

    Starfield is no NMS and it doesn’t have to be - because it’s way better than that. Sure, we cannot fly from planet to planet, but who needs that if there’s a story and side quests you can travel way deeper into than you could travel in any solar system?

    Be warned. It’s not perfect. But I had a really good time. I rarely play games but if you liked Fallout or Skyrim, I tend to believe you

    - Literally a single enemy type copy pasted 1000 times with different hats
    - FTL, an Indie Rogue Lite made by one dude, unironically had more space exploration than this game
    - Bland un-interesting universe where I literally couldn't care less about anything that happens in it
    - Faux RPG choices giving the illusion of build diversity
    - Possibly the worst UI I have ever experienced in any major release title
    - An inventory that's harder to manage than my emotions
    - More time spent in loading screens than browsing the internet on a dial-up connection in 2001

    All in all I cannot say I enjoyed a single minute of the time I spent playing this game and am thankful Steam was kind enough to give me a refund

    Skyrim with guns now in space !

    Bethesda, really I enjoyed skyrim when it came out in 2011.

    But its time to move on from that formula. It is simply outdated and no longer fulfills the expectations of a RPG open world adventure epic.

    I am not kidding remastering (not remake) oblivion or morrowind just might be the road to set you guys in the right path again

    Starfield has a slow start but when you get into it, its as fun as any other Bethesda RPG. I'm about 40 hours in as I write this and i had 0 crashes and minimum of bugs.

I get that, you can't have detailed map on every planet, but at least the major Cities could have it. Most of the time I roam around the City for a long time before I find what I look for. I hope City maps get added, if not by Bethesda then by some modders. Overall, great game that will definetly get better in the future, with help of Community or Bethesda itself. Expand

    Starfield has generated a lot of excitement in the gaming community, and there are several reasons to be optimistic about it. First and foremost, it's developed by Bethesda Game Studios, known for their work on iconic titles like the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series. This track record suggests a commitment to creating vast, immersive open worlds with rich storytelling.

    The concept of exploring space in a single-player RPG setting is incredibly appealing. Starfield promises to take players on a journey to the stars, offering a whole new frontier to explore. The idea of piloting your own spaceship, visiting diverse planets, and encountering a variety of alien species is captivating.

    Bethesda's dedication to modding and player freedom has been a hallmark of their games, and it's likely that Starfield will follow suit. This means that players can expect a robust modding community to enhance and expand the game's content and features, ensuring longevity and replayability

    O jogo tem poucos bugs, e as quedas de fps não são frequentes, o jogo em si é muito bom, mas devido a perfomance ele não chega a ser perfeito.

    There's ship & outpost building, crew mechanics & trade routes, piracy, dogfighting, exploration and in-depth RPG elements. Truely a one-of-a-kind game.

Sus impresionantes logros técnicos y sobre todo, el enorme trabajo y la desmesurada ambición que hay detrás no quitan para que quizás no sea esto lo que buscaba o necesitaba Microsoft, que ha apostado todo a un universo complejo y vivo... que es precisamente donde 'Starfield' cojea. Quizás el problema de este juego de Bethesda es que es un juego para muy cafeteros de Bethesda... y eso no equivale necesariamente a una accesibilidad global e instantánea.

    Hay una sensación excitante en 'Starfield' cada vez que se desciende en un planeta nuevo que es posiblemente lo que, en nuestra cabeza, el juego iba a ser todo el rato. Muy a menudo, esa percepción se desvanece cuando accedemos a otro planeta bonito, pero sin interés. Y vuelta a empezar, hasta que la excitación por lo nuevo remita. Ni siquiera ha llegado el día del lanzamiento y ya estamos en esas: 'Starfield' es un juego magnífico por momentos, pero no el volantazo total que Microsoft y Bethesda esperaban

    This game is a masterpiece. I have been with Bethesda since Skyrim, gone back and played their oldies, and I have to say this is their best game ever. Let me give you the positives.

    - Best Bethesda main story. The story had me, I cried at one point even. It is full of mystery, intrigue, great characters, and many fun twists and turns. It wears classic sci-fi inspiration on its sleeve which I love. It has elements of Bladerunner, Alien, 2001 A Space Odyssey and more. The ending is incredible and honestly heady.

    - Amazing combat. ID (Doom Eternal) and Machine games (Wolfenstein helped with the combat and you can tell it is polished and feels good. The reload animations are awesome, the weapons feel weighty and unique. Hundreds of customization options are available. You can customize and mod each part of a weapon. Also the way that enemies react to being shot is very realistic. They stumble, blood sprays, and the way they fall and slump over after dying shows off the game's impressive physics system.

    - Amazing faction quests. There are a lot of factions in this game. There are the big main factions like the Vanguard and the Crimson Fleet but you can also find smaller one's with shorter quest lines. For instance I joined a gang! The main faction quest lines are long, well written, and packed with good content.

    - Deep side quests with lot's of choice and consequence and great writing. Every side quest I have done has been a blast.

    - RPG mechanics: Bethesda returns to form here, this is the deepest their RPG systems have been since Oblivion. My character perks and background traits have come up in nearly every mission side and main. I have yet to stumble into even a side quest that didn't give me a dialogue option that let's me flex my background.

    - The persuasion and lockpicking mini games are amazing. Most quests have multiple persuasion checks for those who like to talk their way through a mission.

    - Performance is great. Stable 30FPS. Obviously I wish it were 60 but after seeing just how ambitious this game is and all the systems it has, it makes sense why that decision was made.

    - Writing: this is the best written BGS game ever. Clever, funny, emotional, and at times philosophical.

    - Characters: Great characters especially the constellation members. All memorable, they have fun personal questlines that flesh them out really well.

    - Locations: Talking specifically about the cities, I beat the game after 35 hours and I am still discovering new entire cities on different planets that I did not know existed. My favorite city is Neon. Each feels lived in and unique. They are massive and packed with content!

    - Ships: The ship combat is hard but very fun and very rewarding. Nothing beats disabling a ship's engine, boarding it, killing the grew in zero gravity then stealing the ship and selling it. The ship building is DEEP. I have spent hours just in that menu building new ships, making room for more crew that I can hire, and upping my weapon systems. The space combat is also very deep as you have to in real time divert power to various systems such as shields, engine, or weapons to maintain smart movement, defense, or offense. Really well done.

    - NG+ is brilliant. That is all I will say.

    - Procedural content. Completely optional but a ton of fun. I have yet to see the same thing twice. Each planet has so much to offer and the procedural dungeons so far have all been cool and unique. There is so much handcrafted content however, you will be 70+ hours in before you even would need to think about touching the procedural world's if they are not your thing.

    - Base building: Far better than fallout 4, I actually love it in this game (did not in fallout). It is easier and helps you with resources and storage, also gives you a place to put companions you find and recruit.

    - Impressive systems: Here is an example, each planet and each system in real time moves like real planets. If you sit on a moon for 5 hours and watch the sky you will be able to watch in real time your moon rotate around a planet and that planet rotate around the it's sun. This means that each of the 1,000 planets have their own day night cycle and own planetary time. You can see that planet's unique time/day night cycle when you go to wait or sleep on a planet. As it is contrasted against a Universal or standard time that is galaxy wide. I remember when I was blown away by Forza having a seasonal cycle, but this game literally has full unique day night cycles for each individual planet and moon. Another system that blew me away are the physics and object permanence. I have collected so many stuffed animals and laid them all over my ship. They just stay. I saw someone stored 2,000 potatoes on their ship as well.

The game does a lousy job of showing you how to have fun in its world, but the new systems like shipbuilding, outposts, crew assignments, and space combat are fantastic fun once you learn them. When you first start everything is frustrating because you don't have the funds, resources, or perk points to do much, butI haven't been this totally engrossed in a game since I was a little kid.

    I'm really disappointed, I've been waiting for this match for a long time and now it's a cold shower.

    Let me explain:

    I was expecting an innovative game. This is what Bethesda was selling us as an argument. They also sold the game to us by telling us "The planets will be explorable in their entirety".

    But that's not the case, we're on Fallout 4, in space, with a procedural generation similar to that of No Man's Sky, AND THE BIG BLACK POINT (for me anyway): we can't land freely on a planet, nor take atmospheric flight or travel in a vehicle on the surface of a planet. WHICH MEANS THAT EXPLORATION (which they sold us!) ONLY EXISTS DURING LOADING TIMES!!

    The game is completely empty (well no, it's filled with "space pirates" everywhere outside of cities), and if you've ever played Fallout 4 you'll understand that the game is exactly a carbon copy, but in space with procedural generation (and less well)...

    The story is sloppy as possible, we find ourselves propelled into the adventure with a simple snap of the fingers (and it's called "RPG"), I'm not going to spoiler but it's really not a credible story. And apart from the story, most of the NPCs you come across will have a small side quest to allow you to negotiate with a particular person, or look for an object,... in short, Fallout 4 (procedural) and no surprises.

    Moreover, the "negotiations" are generally totally false and this inevitably leads to a fight.

    Procedural generation obviously only serves to make us stay on GamePass with a myriad of bogus quests and pirates in every corner of the map.

    Bethesda, you made a terrible mistake in getting bought by Microsoft.

    Loading Screens are here and there, not a big issue and you need to stay in line that this is not a Simulator but only a game setted on space
    NPC faces and some animations are kind of outdate

    The game is enough good to be a Must Play, lacks of some features and the engine can be outdate but the rest of aspects gives you a good experience, If you loved skyrim and fallout series you will love Starfield... and wait!! Mods are comming to give us years and years of gameplay.

    That said, it is not a bad game, even if it is extremely bare bones at the moment. You can go pretty much everywhere you see - which is nice - but sadly, there isn't that much to "see" on the way - in space, which is a big part of space travel, yes? - as every time you hop aboard your ship to switch planets/moons/systems, you're treated to a loading screen. You spend very little time on your ship considered how much that is a part of star-faring.
    There is a veritable ton of quests and little events, ranging from your usual go-there-and-find-this to surveying to bounty hunting, nothing earthshaking but the variety is there. The main quest moves on tracks, though, so if you're expecting the sort of freedom you may have found thrilling in a game that starts with the letter "B" and ends in the numeral "3", cast away that hope. You, the player, in terms of the main questline, are a hound the npcs point in a direction. You are, of course, free to ignore the main quest entirely - which you can't do in that other game - so... yeah.
    Long story short, this is a Bethesda game, at launch. As we all know, these games become great, both in looks and in in-depth content, after the players make them great. Bethesda just creates the framework, and they've done so relatively bug free for a Bethesda game, here. (Although my game crashed the moment i launched it for the first time, which made me laugh, it hasn't crashed again or encountered any game-breaking bugs after that during the c. 40 hours I've clocked in now.)
    I don't really see why people are so up in arms about Starfield being the best or the worst Bethesda title, as, in its current blank state, it sits quite comfortably in the middle, waiting to see how far the modding community will take it. And there is much, much more room here than in Skyrim.
    That being said, the price tag for what is technically a beautiful frame with the outlines of a painting is a bit steep. The time spent in development is no excuse, seeing how much of it has been outsourced.
    Hopefully, this one goes the way Skyrim did, which depends largely on the community, now. Is that good company policy for a gargantuan studio? Go figure.

    Starfield is another Bethesda game that fails to revolutionize the formula of loot-shoot-return that the studio is infamously known for at this point.

    -Ship building is fine, but the fun stuff is locked behind perks. -Space combat is mindless and boring, the only thing that determines if you win
    Starfield is another Bethesda game that fails to revolutionize the formula of loot-shoot-return that the studio is infamously known for at this point.
    I was expecting more, but there's not one system that's at least flawed to a minor degree.

    -Ship building is fine, but the fun stuff is locked behind perks.
    -Space combat is mindless and boring, the only thing that determines if you win or lose is level difference and perk investment.
    -The story feels generic and uninspired.
    -Gameplay is fine, but I wish there was a bit more, the powers are just another version of Skyrim's shouts but other than being a novelty they just fade in the background, and they eventually lose their appeal.
    -Perks lock you out of BASIC GAMEPLAY FEATURES, and sometimes they're required to complete quests, so you can get locked out of them.
    -The amount of loading screens in this game is astonishing, want to travel to another planet? Loading screen, wanna land on a planet? Loading screen, don't wanna travel half a mile through a barren wasteland of a planet? You guessed it, loading screen.
    -Speaking of planets, how about 950 of them with absolutely nothing to do other than walking around aimlessly for some resources you can't even carry?
    -NPC faces look creepy and lifeless, they just kinda stare at you blankly, it really makes you uneasy.
    -Inventory management is a nightmare.
    -Performance while not egregiously bad is just not acceptable, I was damn constantly dropping below 30 every time I loaded in a big city like New Atlantis.

    There's more, but I'll stop there, overall I'm disappointed by this so called 25 years in the making "space opera".

    It is true that you'll find a good number of barren wastelands with little to do other than extracting some resources and take off to more interesting places, but again it really depends on how you want to play. There's so much to do, so many systems and abilities to explore, missions to complete, spaceships to loot, and species to catalogue, that I honestly don't think there's anybody who thinks that exploring every square meter of this universe is the better way to enjoy Starfield.

    While it has weak spots and doesn’t push many boundaries, Starfield is still an excellent RPG experience. Bethesda has once again mastered the things it built its reputation on – world building, quest design, and deep customization. However, it’s found new things to excel at too, with exciting combat and a novel implementation of New Game Plus.
